Just looking around to see what is actually in the thousands of "historic" pages that were passed tonight.
Doom?
Nobody knows. Remember the Democrat Pelosi said it would have to be passed so we could find out what’s in it.
Liberals certainly place a lot of trust in their kings and queens.
I’m not sure you want to know. *sigh* I am absolutely sick.
A local CPA studied the bill and was interviewed on TV. He said that people with an income like my husband’s and I would face insurance fees of $12,000 per year! I have a very good plan ~ at least we both think so ~ and it’s running $4800 per year for the 2 of us - 1 50, 1 55. I’m wondering how many other people’s insurance we’ll be subsidizing. Plus employers won’t give insurance any more because the fine for not doing it is somewhere around $750!
It’s nuts and I’m wondering if all these frickin’ idiots that voted for zer0 are happy now. They all assume they’re getting insurance tomorrow just like they thought they’d never have to pay their mortgages and things. We just flushed this country down the toilet. Next is amnesty for 50 million illegals or however many are really here.
I saved this from somewhere......

BTY: newsflash..If Obamacare becomes law, about 30 percent of the primary-care doctors in America will consider leaving the medical profession
It says “Screw You, America!”
Health bill problems ping
Whoops, Didn’t realize that list was from the end of last July.
Who knows what it is now.
Ping for later.
AMA = Rockefeller
Thanks... but that’s from back in July. I’d like to know what was actually just passed... if anyone actually knows!!
Honestly Joanne, I don’t know if THEY know.
It sickens me that they keep throwing around the word “historic”. In my opinion, just because something might be called that doesn’t mean it’s a good thing. WWII was historic. Sept. 11th was historic.
It says “All you doctors belong to US!”
As a taxpaying peasant, what makes you think you have the right to know what’s in this bill? Do what you’re told and shut your mouth!
The election of Obama was historic.
And if you are a welfare queen; you get everything I have been paying for myself, and more.
IF your a pregnant woman, single and don't want the baby; your taken care of at the tax payer's cost.
IF your a member of congress, then your exempt because the taxpayers have to keep your sorry butt up anyways.
And if your an actual producer of any good or service in this country, your going to be paying even more for everthing else.
Pretty HISTORIC huh?
I’m trying to figure out how to masquerade as an illegal alien. It seems to me they get everything free and I get my insurance costs hiked to the sky.
